Vehicle-shredder residue

Shredding vehicles produced the hazardous residue.

Hazardous residue from shredding vehicles. It must come from the shredding process, not just from a car.

Is California code 613 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. First decide the material is hazardous. Code 613 isn't restricted, so a restricted category that fits wins over it. A non-restricted code doesn't make a waste nonhazardous.

If a shipment needs the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter 613 in Item 13 for its waste line. Use one California code, plus the federal RCRA codes when the waste is federally hazardous.

RCRA waste meets a federal listing or characteristic and has no federal exclusion. Non-RCRA waste is hazardous under California rules only. California presumes hazardous waste is RCRA unless the generator shows it isn't, so keep that record.

What does California code 613 cover?

This entry is hazardous residue from shredding vehicles. Waste isn't vehicle-shredder residue just because it came from an auto site. Keep evidence linking the material to shredding, and characterize the hazards it carries.

Official wording: 22 CCR division 4.5, chapter 11, Appendix XII(b)
